He was also a finalist in Fair Go twice, most notably in an anti-smoking ad for 2000.
Simultaneously, he acted in the 1992 film “Shortlad Street” as a scheming gangster.
Duncan’s love for softball led him to become a pitcher for the New Zealand under-16 team. However, tragedy struck when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer that had appeared as a lump in his left knee.
The chemotherapy treatment he underwent was unpleasant, as depicted in his short film “DFK6498”.

Unfortunately, he succumbed to the disease a year later in Texas on November 12, 2003.
